Dare I call this “edutainment”?

This is such a funny, yet informative take on what makes our beloved theme parks great. Ryan and Byron are fonts of knowledge that don’t take themselves too seriously. The banter they have with their guests as they debate the “world class status” of an attraction is a novel and creative format that makes it more like you’re having a fun time hanging out with your friends that love the same stuff you do. Go watch it on YouTube also for an enhanced experience.

Amusement Level is Extraordinarily High

First off, I’ve loved Watcher forever and I’ve loved the rapport of Ryan and Shane going all the way back to the Buzzfeed days. When I found out Ryan was going to be hosting a theme park podcast I knew it would become a favorite podcast and it has not disappointed. Hopefully this podcast can keep going and going and all of us “sickos” can get our weekly fix.

Amused by these theme park nerds

I’m a bit biased, since I listened to The Saddest Podcast on Earth and loved it. I was sad when they didn’t continue it, so when they introduced this I was happy hear these two nerds again. As someone that grew up going to Six Flags, I can relate to their love of theme parks, but their passion for Disneyland and Bryon’s roller coaster knowledge is on another level. I so appreciate their insights on everything though, since I haven’t done almost any of these rides and now I have something to look forward to when I visit these parks either again, or for the first time. Plus, sometimes they give some really great tips for us plebs not in the know! Also really love the guests they’re bringing on for these, and so glad Amanda made an appearance! Please keep this podcast going as long as you can, since it’s really a treat listening to you both talk about something you love so much.
